Yo, the manager was just mean af Lol. This isn't the first time the heroes had to deal with pesky or annoying authority figures ("Baskin Robbins always finds out") but they were at least funny in their scenes. She was just plain unpleasant to Steven. Giving me war flashes to my own retail nightmare supervisor.

Late all the time, disappears for days, scatter brained when he is there. I can get why she’s mean to him, just surprised he still has a job really.

Could be that's part of why she's so rude to him. Horrible employee but maybe someone won't let her fire him?

She's fed up with everything about the guy and takes it out on him.

In the books, one of MK's personas is a rich playboy. Perhaps the MCU version has a similar persona who donates to the museum, with the odd stipulation that they keep that nice boy Steven (with a V) in the gift shop, regardless of how much of a screw-up he is.

(Yes, I know that Steven is the playboy in the books, but we haven't established that yet in MCU).

i mean he could be really good when we dont see him? or a therapist or something has told her not to fire him because of his mental illness

I don't know if the UK has this, but in the US, you can get tax breaks for hiring disabled people for menial jobs. Like, hire someone with Down's Syndrome as a grocery bagger. Or someone with profound DID as your gift shop clerk. You can fire them if it's not working out, but then bye-bye tax breaks. So there is incentive to keep them on the payroll, and she might be frustrated because she wants to fire him but gets overruled by a higher-up.
